Guest brentc Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 You could also do that (the VH Exp path). I did in the Jab and I can fly NVFR and IFR if I'm suitably equipped. If you're experimental in IFR you can actually request a path over a non-built up area and the controller will divert you accordingly. Don't think I've ever heard anyone ask for that but it is mentioned in the rules. I'm a little unsure myself of the rules regarding flight over built-up areas in VH experimental - must look that up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcamp Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Flight over builtup area in experimental a/c is the same for RAA and VH. CASA or approved person see CAR262. Asking a couple of years ago there were requirements: Engine - 912 or Jab, also certified lycosaurus etc OK. Single ignition no. Aircraft - Savannah or Jab OK. (and presumably others) Would want to see more than minimum hours flown off. The rest appears to be a grey area on both the aircraft and engine ie your Brentc MK1 superbird might require quite a bit of engineering and flighttest data as would the dual ignition WRX motor. It's basically a matter of convincing cynical engineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
